Tho White Hair Craze,

suppose most people who welk along
Broadway with their eyes open cannot
have failed to notice recently remark
able increase in the number of young
looking women with white hair that are
to be met nowadays. / am myself the
most credulous individual, and especially
where lovely woman is concerned, it dis
tresses me to find myself having the
smallest doubt as to the genuineness of
everything about her. But it seemed to
me so odd that such number of white
haired women appeared all ut once that I
was moved to make perquisition into the
subject, and consulted an affable ncquaint-
ance of mine who is what is styled a ton
sorial artist.
From him learned that the white hair
craze is the latest fashionable fad, and
that it is obtained by the same means that
were employed to produce the daffodil
colored tresses that have been so long in
vogue, but which having been adopted by
ladies of certain class are now tabooed
by society The bleaching mixture is
peroxide of hydrogen, which, when mixed
with % per cent. of ammonia, will in two
applications turn the blackest hair enow
white by the simple process of destroying
the coloring matter. OF course it is
frightfully injurious to health, as it with
rrs the capillary tubes just as any other
vegetable is shriveled by burning, but
The ladies who use 1t don't mind running
their health as long as they can be in the
fashion.-NeW York Letter.

The Jerry Builder, in Kome.

The jerry builder is not to have it all
his own way in Rome. The municipality
has at last interfered and declared that
overgrown, decrepit, insanitary structures
are no longer to be run up like mush-
rooms and finished off, let and inhabited
before the plaster is dry. The specula-
tors and contractors who have hitherto
been monarchs of all they surveyed pro-
tested against this interference with the
vested interests of dishonest workman

stand firm, the evil having grown to i'll
tolerable and impossible dimensions.
There is grim satisfaction in knowing
that the huge factories for they resemble
nothing else) which: disgrace the Esquiline
and the Pratt di CASTILLO are not quite so
permanent as the Colosseum, and are
scarcely more desirable as places CT resi-
dence. They will rapidly crumble away,
to be replaced, perhaps, with buildings
more worthy Of the Eternal City. But in
the mean time, and for a generation or
two at least, Rome is architccturally dis
graced in the eyes of the civilized world.

Almost a Lynching,

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The lynch law
of the frontier came within an ace of
taking the life Of an innocent man in
Jersey City today. A boy sitting on

and fell forward in the street screaming
with pain. Two men were shooting at
target in the meadows near by and a
crowd at once pounced on them as re-
sponsbie for it. One of them was Seig-
fried Schneider, of this city, a we'll to-
do gunmaker. While number of the
crowd held him others ran for rope
and put it about his neck and dragged
MN to tree. His cries and protesta-
tons of innocence were in vain. The
boys wound he said was made by pis-
tai bullet and not rifle bullet. The
the crowd refused to listen and gave
schneider one minute to pray. AS this
critical junction, John Schaeffer ran out
from house near by and acknowledg.

IN hls house were put under arrest and
schneider was taken home half dead
from fright. The boy will live
